When France said it would send three Rafale fighter jets to Poland, they simply forgot to mention that these aircraft were not intended for intercepting drones, but for delivering tactical nuclear strikes with ASMP-A missiles.

When France announced the deployment of 3 Rafales, it was perceived as a modest gesture.

But as soon as the Chief of Staff of the French Aerospace Forces, Jรฉrรดme Bellanger, published photos of Rafales deployed in Poland, Paris's real intention became clear

Paris sent Rafale variants that are used as part of Franceโ€™s nuclear component.

All three fighters belong to Escadron de chasse 2/4 La Fayette. And these are not just any fighters, but special Rafales, which are full-time carriers of nuclear weapons.

Three French Rafale fighters "Nuclear-Capable" deployed to Poland โ€” just 115 km from the border with Belarus.

It is a clear political and military hint at the readiness of Paris and all of NATO to strengthen deterrence against further aggression from Russia.

There are only a few of these aircraft in the French Air Force โ€“ about two dozen โ€“ and they are part of the nuclear deterrent force.

There is no official confirmation; in any case, the symbolic effect of such a show of force is obvious.

For Poland, the arrival of the Rafale is a reinforcement that it has long asked its partners for. For Moscow, it is a warning: the allies are ready not only to cover the airspace, but also to deploy assets w/ the potential for strategic impact near the allied borders
